There are a couple of GLCEs which are not covered very well by Everyday
Math. These are:
1. describing position with words like above, below, in front, etc. This
skill will be addressed in language lessons.
2. pictographs:
a. collecting and organizing data
b. making graphs – vertical and horizontal
c. reading and interpreting
There are a few lessons throughout the program with sections about making
different kinds of graphs. We will be sure to do these even though they
aren’t the main focus of the lesson. We will also incorporate making and
interpreting pictographs in other subject areas, especially social studies and
calendar routine.
